what's the final line on macarthy? and why haven't hawk and dj been all over his nuts for keeping us in this one? last time, freddy went out and gave up FIVE runs and they couldn't stop talking about it the next day. Garcia pitched a heck of a game... heck of a game.

now its mackowiak's time to shine...

cmon, G-LOAD.

He looks alright... but there was that homer. C'mon Ozzie. You know you want to... Get Cottsy some work. We're down three and NO ONE can score three on johan.

now seems like a good time to pull macarthy. how's mackowiak on the mound? let's find out tonight huh?

alomar's about to go granddad all over johan.

here comes the hook... mac just doesn't have it tonight. right ozzie?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) Yeah, I'm not saying that just because a guy is Latino, Ozzie's going to favor him. However, I think that Ozzie has developed some very close friendships with some of the guys on this team, and it's effecting the way he manages. Maybe I phrased that poorly... but take Frankenstein (Freddy). He comes into camp late, out of shape, and high... and ozzie defends him. Bob Jenks comes in looking better than last year, getting guys out, and he needs to get into shape.

Maybe bmac should change his last name to martinez, learn to speak spanish, and bump his level of play down a notch... then I thing ozzie would like him more.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 05:27 PM) Add Sandy to the list of guys that we need to wind up on the DL. WHY isn't AJ playing tonight. Last night he looked like the only guy on the team that was fired up, plus he's lefty and lefties hit santana better, plus he knows minni, PLUS he's not a hundred damn years old.

Hey... looks like MacDougal got a shave and a haircut and changed his uni number to 55... Unorthodox, but whatever it takes, huh?

Look on the bright side. 40 pitches in 1 1/3 innings. Maybe we'll get to see Cotts get shelled for a few innings tonight.

Anderson DEFINITELY has both of those. If Mack got close on both, no doubt anderson catches em both. Dammit.

I am sick.... SICK... of seeing balls fall in center field that Anderson would easily track down. C'mon. This is so tough to watch.

Did anyone else see Paulie thump Barrett in the mask with his bat during a pre-pitch back swing? I didn't see it during the game, but sportscenter that night showed it. Don't know if it was on purpose, but it sure was sweet.

I hate this kid rodriguez. He's got no class on the mound. None. Of course, rex hudler and his butt buddy are all over his nuts. And if they call tim salmon the king fish one more time I'm gonna throw my computer out the window.

watching here in la. Normally, I get a fifty fifty chance of getting hawk and dj on the mlb cable package, but when we play the angels I get stuck with these tool bags. I can't stand hearing these guys yammer on and on, especially when the angels have a lead. They're still talking about AJ running to first during the alcs. Pardon me while I barf all over my keyboard. Can't wait til we're done with these guys.

So again this week, reporters got onto the Ozzie tells Bobby Jenks to shape up story. From what I understand, Jenks added muscle this summer, which effected his throws. He certainly doesn't look any fatter. What I don't understand is how come Ozzie hasn't been all over his boy Freddie Garcia, who came back this year looking like a Venezuelan Dom DeLuise. Seriously, did this guy work out at all during the winter. Looks to me like his workouts included lots of barbecued meats and plenty of servesas. And they wonder why his velocity wasn't there. Just an observation.

I hate fox. They took the game from wgn for a "national telecast." Meanwhile, I'm in LA watching the yankees kick the crap out of the redsox while listening to the sox on mlb.com. It's not surprising, but still, it's pissing me off. Class move fox. Thanks for taking away my last chance to hear hawk and dj call a game this season.

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) looks like a shot outta the 1950's Yeah... minus the body armor.

how about viz loads the bases... bring on Shingo for the granny... and call it a series.

oh god... why???

You think we can trade VIZCAINO away. Maybe the Brewers will take him back for the Giant Bratwurst. The Italian Sausage has better velocity, but he tends to leave the slider out over the plate.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 31, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) One difference, Shingo doesn't get all that much money and he's not pitching here. Plus Koch did pitch down in the AAA for a while two years ago. Heck I think he finished the season pretty much down there one year (the 1st year the Sox acquired him). If Shingo can pitch a few days a week he could very well find his command. Once he finds that he'll go on a tear and will be capable of pitching like he did last year. If he doesn't, then he has no chance of suceeding. Its worth the shot though cause he's not doing anything up here anyway and he won't improve pitching once a week. I'm mistaken. Still, I don't think he'll go. He's Japanese... don't know how he'll handle the SHAME. Bringing great dishonor on his family and s***. I don't know.
